SCS Standards And Assurance Systems Releases Revised SCS 106 Verification Standard For Recycling Operations For Public Review

(MENAFN- 3BL) EMERYVILLE, Calif., September 24, 2025 /3BL/ - SCS Standards and Assurance Systems is pleased to announce that version 5.0 of the SCS-106 Verification Standard for Recycling Operations is now available for public review.

SCS-106 has been updated from its previous 2014 version as a verification standard, rather than a certification standard. The standard has been restructured and simplified overall and now looks at the previous 12 months of data for recycling operations to verify that a recycling facility is diverting waste from landfill, incineration, or permanent storage by processing waste (reclaimed material) into usable material (recycled output). As a result, the name has changed from SCS-106 Recycling Program Standard, to SCS-106 Verification Standard for Recycling Operations.

SCS-106 fits into the larger ecosystem of SCS' circularity standards, complementing the SCS Certification Standard for Zero Waste (SCS-110) and the SCS Certification Standard for Recycled Content (SCS-103).

The public is welcome to comment on the SCS-106 version 5.0 updates until November 5th, 2025. To submit comments, please reach out to ... , or please visit our website.
